Synopsis

Economic Bonds explores the profound yet often overlooked influence of friendships on our economic behavior. Challenging traditional economic models that assume rational self-interest, the book argues that our social circles significantly shape our financial decisions, career trajectories, and overall economic well-being. It uniquely bridges the gap between economic theory and social psychology, providing a comprehensive analysis supported by surveys, experiments, and social network data. For instance, the book highlights how "keeping up with the Joneses," or peer spending habits, powerfully influence individual consumption patterns.

 
The book progresses by examining three key areas: peer spending, social support during financial hardship, and the impact of friendships on career trajectories. It demonstrates how friendships act as a form of social capital, offering mentorship and networking opportunities that can significantly impact professional success.

 
The insights presented can empower individuals to make more conscious and effective financial choices, understanding how their social connections affect their economic lives. This multidisciplinary approach makes Economic Bonds valuable for anyone seeking to understand the complex interplay between psychology, economics, and friendship.

Democracy in Action - Collective...

Carolyn M. Hendriks, Albert W. Dzur

Government and market failures spur many citizens to practical action today. Around the globe people form renewable energy cooperatives, provide support for marginalized populations, and deliver alternative justice and care services. What motivates citizens to begin such practical problem-solving? How do they engage others? What knowledge do they generate? How do they interact with state and market actors? What risks and opportunities do they hold for contemporary democracy? 
 
 
 
To answer these questions, Dzur and Hendriks develop the concept of citizens' governance space to delineate these efforts from contentious social movements, formal civic associations, and local community organizations. Drawing on cases from around the globe, the authors examine how citizens do functional policy work, develop and disrupt knowledge, and selectively partner with governments and corporations. They reveal complexities and risks posed by citizens' governance spaces while also showing how they offer a distinct form of democratic participation centered on practical efforts and outcomes. 
 
 
 
Democracy in Action provides a new lens for recognizing and understanding the more practical ways that citizens contribute to governance and democracy.
